Anglican Cathedral of St. John the Baptist
One of North America's finest Gothic Revival churches, designed by English architect George Gilbert Scott and rebuilt after two great fires.
The cathedral was designed by George Gilbert Scott. Construction began in 1847, and after a fire in 1892 left only the stone walls standing, it was rebuilt. It is a National Historic Site of Canada. On summer afternoons, parish volunteers serve a traditional English afternoon tea in the basement, which is popular with visitors. Located on Cathedral Hill in the city center, it is within walking distance.
